Quote by William Shakespeare

Hell is empty and all the devils are here.

Hell is empty and all the devils are here.

Summary

This quote, attributed to William Shakespeare in "The Tempest," suggests that evil and wickedness are ever-present in the world. It implies a sense of despair and hopelessness, indicating that even though the idea of hell being empty may suggest some relief from evil, it does not mean the absence of devilish beings or malicious behavior. Instead, it emphasizes that the world itself can be a chaotic and malevolent place, with no escape from the pervasive presence of sin and wrongdoing.

I probably wouldn't be a songwriter if I didn't grow up the way I did. It was difficult and it was at times very scary to grow up in a household so unsettled and at times very violent. But, it also, I guess it earned me a sort of wisdom at a young age that's served me well.

I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an air hole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.

Are not lifelong friendships born at the moment when at last

Are not lifelong friendships born at the moment when at last you meet another human being who has some inkling (but faint and uncertain even in the best) of that something which you were born desiring, and which, beneath the flux of other desires and in all the momentary silences between the louder passions, night and day, year by year, from childhood to old age, you are looking for, watching for, listening for? You have never had it.
